Chris Corson-Scott - 'We Passed The Setting Sun'

Drawing the exhibition title from an Emily Dickinson poem that meditates upon Death’s leisurely, though inevitable, procession through time, Chris Corson-Scott captures places that carry quiet significance as historic sites. Revealing a history all but invisible except to the keen observer bearing witness, Corson-Scott draws out the impossibility of fully preserving the past. Producing evocative images that also speak to the essence of photography as a medium bound to the attempt to arrest the fleeting moment, Corson-Scott remains resolutely insistent on the use of analogue film and ‘old-fashioned’ 8×10 view-camera as critical to the aesthetic of his work.
